Thanks. I will check those sites. I have seen some of the macros where it says
Active document. Range. Language ID = wdEnglishUS. If it had a line that
would uncheck the do not check spelling and grammer box I think it would fix
my problem. I'm by no means a Word or Macro expert so I don't know how to add
that command or if it would even work. What do you think?

Hi,.
1) Bookmarks are not set to calculate on exit. They are just there or not
there. Form fields, which have bookmarks set by default, can be set to
calculate on exit.
2) A protected form must be protected for the fields to work properly. If
you can use Ctrl-A and select something outside of a single field, it is not
protected.
3) If you are looking for squiggly red lines to appear as you type in a
protected form you are out of luck. It won't happen.
4) The macro to check spelling works, but it assumes that you are working
with form fields in a document that is protected for forms. You have to call
it when you want to check the spelling.
What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at

Chapman's series of articles.
Hope this helps,

I have a form with text fields in it. The form is protected. I also have
bookmarks with matching referance fields. The bookmarks are set to
calculate
upon exit. The problem is as soon as the user tabs through one of the
fields
it sets the Language setting back to do not spell check for the whole
document. I have tried the macro on the MVP website and it does not work
because the text fields get set back to not spell check and it does not
change that. I can get it to spell check if I unprotect the form,
highlight
the text, go to the language setting and uncheck the do not spell check.
But
that has to be done on every text field I want to spell check on every
time I
use the form. Can a macro be written or modified to do this for me? Or is
there a way to set the document to allow spell check even if it has
bookmarks
that calculate on exit. I know its the bookmarks that are the problem
because
the document keeps the language setting I give it and spell checks the
text
fileds until I add the bookmark and tell it to calculate on exit. I'm at
the
end of my rope on this so any help would be great. I have already tried
the
Cnt A and it doed not work either. I've also tried setting the default
language with the do not check spelling and auto detect the lanaguage
boxes
unchecked. As soon as the activity hour glass displays after you exit a
bookmark field it sets the do not check grammer or spelling. The check bos
is
filled in by a green box instead of a check. Not sure what that means. I
am
running Office 2003.
